I bought my '51 Chevy pickup in August 2009 and wanted to learn as much as I could about this antique truck, so I joined a website for collectors of antique Chevy pickups. The knowledge these collector/mechanics possessed, enjoyed discussing, and were willing to share in their interest was incredible!
I thought, "Where could I go where I could enjoy discussing and sharing something in which I'm interested?"
I remember the moment that I discovered allnurses, at work one night during a lull. Here were nurses, like and unlike myself, discussing a profession for which I had worked at for 30 years!
I felt an instant kindredship, joining immediately, and becoming a paying member, supporting the website, a year later. (I wanted to make sure my interest was not just a whim.)
It's been a great ride!
